I've grown some Neon for the last couple of years, couldn't resist testing the short-season advantage. You actually get a pretty big (8-10lb), perfect-looking pumpkin...quick.

We live in upstate NY and have a short growing season. My pumpkin seeds (I planted in my small greenhouse in May) did not germinate and I'm looking for a variety that might take off if I plant them now. I would love to get pumpkins going that make great pie. Anyone have any suggestions? I love your blog! We live in upstate NY and have a short growing season.
